  • You realize that it takes money and workers to upkeep, repair, rebuild plants? Staying with nuclear costs money that instead is better invested in renewables. And you realize that maintaining that share against newly build renewables requires new plants right?

    You understand that 20% of 100 are 20 and 20% of 200 are 40 right? Like when you look at the charts, you see that the total production capacity doubled, because of the exponential growth of renewables. So it would need new plants to maintain the share.

    So unless the plants you demanded were already in planning in 1990, there is no way they would have been there in 2010. Seriously, with how bad at math and physics the proponents of nuclear power are it is all the more important to keep them away from such a dangerous technology.




  • Yeah, 20 years ago. If you build more renewables the share of all other power sources goes down.

    If you look at the total values in your source, you’ll see nuclear to decline since 2006. And from 2021-2023 then the full phase out happened. But the only plants that hypothetically could have ran a bit longer were only left to produce 2%.

    To revert now, Germany first would need to invest billions to modernize the plants, which would take years to scale back into it. Also it would likely need to buy their fuel rods from Russia, defeating the whole purpose of sanctioning Russian Oil and Gas.



  • As someone from Germany, i strongly advise against moving to Germany. You get shit services, massive racism and shit weather. If you decide to come nonetheless, prepare to deal with no cell-phone coverage as you go by train or car across the country. Also the Trains are notoriously late and the highways are crumbling. It only takes some triple digit billions to catch up with the deficit in infrastructure investment.

    Prepare to wait for up to a year for specialist doctors appointments. That is if the doctors you tried to visit didn’t all turn you down, because they are either overbooked or said that you look fine and southerners are just always dramatic.

    And if you look like you could be from the Middle East, so if you are Spanish, Italian, from the Balkans, Latin America or any other place where people aren’t pale as fuck, prepare to be insulted, threatened and sometimes violently attacked in the streets.


  • Inside their countries they used to be. Italian migrant workers faced racist backlash in Germany at first. Then it shifted to Turkish migrant workers, then to Jugoslawian refugees, now to Arabs but also back to Turkish people as they are perceived as Muslim. Of course all minorities, European or not are facing racism, only the focus shifted.

    Now we have a Nazis cooperating across Europe on two notions. The first being “Whites vs. Muslims” the other being that supposedly only ethnically homogenous countries could work, so Czech Republic for Czechs, Germany for Germans, Hungary for Hungarians, Netherlands for Dutch…


  • Biden and Harris want the annihilation of Palestine. They could put an end to it now. Everyone who claims that the parties have any sliver of difference in regards to their actions on Israels genocide was proven wrong once again. Trump just speaks the quiet part out loud. But this was the most clear “red-line” It was specifically measured, none of this “its not a large invasion of Rafah, only a small one” bullshit. The US made an explicit demand. It was not even remotely reached.

    This was yet another insulting move against the muslim, black and other minority communities in the US by the Democrats. it said “we believe you are this stupid to fall for it.”

    Guess what, the people said “we are tired of your genocidal bullshit”.


  • If you tell people now that Democracy is dead, they don’t bother fighting the real fight, if and when push comes to shove.

    Dems said this election is the end of Democracy, but still put an uninspiring right candidate. They said Trump is the fascist danger to all the US stands for. But having him and his crownies dismantled by getting criminal charges on them seemed to go too far. When grassroots movements came up and demanded change instead of embracing them, taking them seriously and talking with them properly, they were shunned and pushed down.

    Now the greatest danger to corporate America are people to start organizing and taking to the streets. So hammer down the defeatist message, so the people suck up to their corporate overlords. The corporate overlords who won yet another election as both candidates represented their class interests.








  • But i was told repeatedly, that Biden/Harris were only toeing the line bc. of the election and once it was over, they would change things?

    Turns out the whole ordeal was yet another piss poor maneuver to lie to the people, just like that “aid pier” that ended up being used for IDF instead.

    Biden and Harris will do nothing to stop Israel. They made a whole fuzz, now to have this very explicit “red line” not just to stepped over, but rolled over with a bulldozer. There is no red lines for this administration.

    They haven proven once and for all, that they are no better than Trump for the Palestinians.



  • So to get this straight. Israeli government employees are attacking french government employees. But instead of sanctioning the government that is behind these attacks on french government employees, they choose to sanction some private citizens instead?

    Sure those private citizens are intertwined with the government and supported by it, but this is like saying “i wont play with your little brother anymore” as a way to “stand up” to the bully that has beaten you, while you still pay him your lunch money every day.



  • Think about it. the “fighting human animals”, total siege, thought for arrests by the ICC prosecutor Gallant was too moderate for Israel. Now they put Katz up, who declared once again, that there will be no peace coming from Israel, only annihilation and his goal is to go to full on war with a country of 90 million people, and some 60 Million people in countries in between.

    There is nothing coming out of Israels mainstream society except for genocidal blood lust for a total war. However as Israel has not enough soldiers to fight a war against countries with 15x their population in total, that will mean they will try to drag everyone of their allies into it. And that dragging in doesn’t just mean weapons. It will require boots on the ground.
